Fuel West

Fuel is awesome. I spent over 5 years at Purdue and Fuel on Northwestern Ave was a fixture throughout my PhD. So much so that it earned an honorable mention in the acknowledgements section of my thesis. The coffee is always great and so is the food. I have bought many packs of beans from them too (emphasis on the word many). I was back in West Lafayette this weekend for the commencement and had lunch there with my parents. As always, the food was delicious. Whenever I come back to West Lafayette, I'll be back at Fuel for at least a coffee and Zucchini bread. I urge you to do the same.

This coffee house is in the University Lutheran Church building. Luther’s catchphrase was ‘faith alone.’ Faith alone will convince you that you will get your coffee within 15 minutes of ordering it and not be late to class. Best to visit when you’ve got time to reflect on your sins and aren’t in a hurry. Nice atmosphere, severely overpriced.

The coffee is good, but the drink options are too few. Music is played way too loud for studying. Significantly more expensive than other options nearby.

One of my fav spots on campus drinks are consistently good and the servers are always super nice! I only wish they were open longer 😔

**Had the worst matcha drink in my entire life** So I went here and ordered the matcha drink which is $7.5(with tax)! I told them to use oatmilk and they said okay. When it was time to get my drink, I was served a green muddy looking water in a cup, not cold either. I told them that I asked for a iced oatmilk matcha, and not water. The lady on the counter took my drink, threw a little water from the top in the sink, and then put a splash of oatmilk. So I asked them, could you redo my drink with oatmilk instead of water? To which they said, matcha needs to be diluted with hot water that’s why it’s mostly water with a splash of oatmilk (yes I know matcha needs to be made with hot water, but not 250ml of hot water!! A tiny bit of water is enough to make it). For reference I’m attaching what
